Scripps Institution of Oceanography

This repository contains information from over 800 expeditions by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography since 1903. Two interfaces are available for the user (advanced and basic) allowing the use of a graphical or text based search tool as desired. In addition two meta data and one grid viewer tools are available. While the oceanographic information proffered does cover the world's oceans, particular attention has been applied to the Pacific and adjacent regions. The image collection is rich not only in recent materials, but illustrations and drawings from such primary source materials as expedition logbooks. The site is part of the overall National Science Digital Library (NSDL).
